Relating to or involving sexual reproduction, especially the union of male and female gametes (reproductive cells).
From Greek 'gamos' (marriage/union) with suffix '-ic'; used in biology since the 19th century to describe sexual reproduction processes.
The opposite term is 'agamic' (asexual reproduction)—biologists use 'gamic' when they want to emphasize that organisms are making babies the old-fashioned way through sexual fusion.
